Since the beginning I’ve said that Elon and his DOGE tech bros know the real value in pillaging these federal agencies is in the data, but not to raid your bank accounts. It’s to influence the outcome of our elections.

Every word he says here is a lie. Every single word. He lies because his voters let him lie.

They’re going to keep pushing until something stops them.

When a clown moves into a palace, he doesn't become a king, the palace becomes a circus. -Turkish proverb

As a reminder that protests don’t end where they start: when news of the Stamp Act first arrived in America in May 1765, most printers reacted by advertising on the premise of “buy now before prices go up.” Took until August/September for even the people most affected to actively turn against it.

I’d love to know how many people in Trumps administration got out of the stock market before he started his trade tantrums

It’s a recalibration of economic control. Oligarchs don’t live paycheck to paycheck. They have the capital to buy market dips and recoup faster, acquiring more assets at fire sale prices along the way. When the dust finally settles, they will own more. The rest of us will own less. A lot less.

Stock market in complete limbo, retirement savings disappearing, farmers facing devastating uncertainty… and he went golfing. If he ran a company the way he ran the country this weekend, he’d be fired.

It’s only going to get worse, folks.

The government is slashing public health jobs, gutting vaccine programs, and fueling a measles comeback. This is not reform—it’s sabotage. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/make-ameri...

Last night I wrote about Abrego Garcia’s case. Today, SCOTUS confirmed it’s true. Even though their stay is just temporary, he remains in cruel & unusual conditions in a foreign prison with no recourse. It could happen to any of us. joycevance.substack.com/p/the-week-a...

Respectfully my friend, it’s NOT just the fault of one man. It’s the fault of an entire political party that bowed like cowards to this one man. And it’s the fault of way too many of his voters who allowed him to lie to them every single day for the past 10yrs. They ALL own this.

Bill Ackman freaking out about tariffs and saying "this isn't what we voted for" is as clear a crystallization of conservative self-delusion as you could ever ask for. Yes it is you idiot, you voted specifically for this! He talked about this NON STOP

A sudden drop like this—especially during a global selloff—isn’t a sign of strength. It signals collapsing demand expectations, fear of recession, and market instability. This isn’t prosperity, it’s a warning.

Not joking: as of today Donald Trump is the absolute greatest destroyer of wealth the country has ever had

Imagine if this was your kid

Stock market’s crashing, retirement savings are disappearing… and he’s out golfing.

What the hell are tariffs, and why is Donald Trump so bad at them? Also: is the president breaking the law by raising taxes, when it's *Congress's* power to raise taxes? (Yes.) It's all in today's episode of Law & Chaos with @lizdye.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/e...

Children will die. Unvaccinated children can pass the disease to vulnerable too-young-to-be vaccinated babies: siblings, or strangers in the restaurant. This is all so so preventable and all so so predictable. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

Either everyone has due process or no one has any rights.

Why would a leader tank his own country's economy? It's a key part of the aspiring autocrat's playbook. Tariffs & chaos mean more power & control for Trump. But America has no king. The Republican-led Congress can stop this at any time. Let your reps hear from you. 5calls.org/issue/trump-...

No tariffs on Russia. See my Lucid essay about the priority of this admin to solve Putin's problems: open.substack.com/pub/lucid/p/...

Important to remember that the reason most Trump voters think everything's fine is that their chosen media is telling them little more than that he's cutting government waste and frogmarching criminals out of the country. Real information doesn't reach them. An economic collapse? That might.

Economic Suicide by Dipshittery

Just watched the President's "Liberation Day" speech. Based on this, I can confirm many Americans will be liberated from: - Being able to afford groceries - Much of their retirement savings - Any hope of buying a home As for lower prices? Just the opposite.

I’m a big believer in concentrating on your side of the net. But in life, just like in tennis, you opponent has a racket too Trump’s Tariff Fantasy - The American Prospect prospect.org/economy/2025...

I wonder if all those dyers who’ve always remained silent under the adage of ‘I don’t mix politics with business’ realize that if people can’t afford to eat, they’re definitely not buying your damn yarn.

It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory. Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.

The only safe bet these days is that Trump insiders are making money on the market movements his announcements create.

COLLINS: China has this 34% tariff. There were already 20% tariffs on China. So is that 34% on top of that, meaning it's a 54% tariff on China? BESSENT: I believe it is

“Predatory action against children will not be tolerated.”

Trump: "Prime Minister of Japan, ahhh, Shinzo, was -- Shinzo Abe -- he was a fantastic man. He was unfortunately taken from us. Assassination."

Raskin: Would it be problem for it to be standard practice to conduct sensitive foreign policy on a signal chat group? It just came out that Waltz’s team set up 20 signal group chats for crises across the world… I’m sure this will raise the question on whether he should continue in that position

“Diseases will not be cured and treatments will not be found” “Generations of expertise … so hard to replace” “Americans will suffer, and people will die” What I heard yesterday about the Trump administration’s mass firings at HHS www.thebulwark.com/p/people-wil...

This is Senator Jim Banks from Indiana. No need to tell you he’s a Republican—it’s clear by the cruel disdain he shows his own constituent who was laid off. Note: he waits until the door’s about to close before telling him he deserved it & calling him a “clown.” He’s not just cruel—he’s a coward.

Today, we are being liberated from the burden of economic prosperity and growth! Happy Liberation Day! (Remember: we have always been allies with Eurasia… George Orwell)

He wore the cheesehead hat in WI. Spent $20 million. Paid people to sign petitions. Paid people to canvas. Did million dollar giveaways. A rally. TV interviews. But I guess people in Wisconsin didn’t appreciate an oligarch trying to buy their civil liberties.
